[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] German-Poland-Volhynia - Shitomir ProtestantChurch Community

[Dave Obee]

Over the years several Zhitomir residents have emerged as being good
researchers in the archives there. (A few have revealed themselves to be
hopeless, but that's another matter.)

I think it would make more sense to deal with them -- and yes, they expect
payment, but it's not unreasonable -- than to try to work with organizations
there directly. The researchers I know have email and speak English, so that
eliminates a lot of the frustration and delays, not to mention the hassle of
translating into and out of Ukrainian.

Not quite the answer you were looking for, but possibly more helpful...
